Someone just gifted me a Thoth deck to help me get started on my Tarot journey with a physical deck...I love the beautifully detailed and vibrant imagery! Queen of wands is so powerful in this deck.

What resources do you recommend for getting started learning more about the imagery specific to this deck. I know Crowley had a lot to add and bring to the tarot table (so to speak) but this deck came with the LWB and there's a lot to dig into beyond that with this deck I think.

Thoughts?

You will need Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot by Lon Milo DuQuette. It's VERY helpful (unlike the first three times you read Crowley's Book of Thoth)!

And check out the cards by date on the top of the home page.

And if you want to be tempted by another deck, or get deep into Thoth territory, you will eventually want the Tabula Mundi Tarot. http://www.tabulamundi.com/ It's the best!

I concur that the Duquette book is where to start specifically for the Thoth. You can also get quite a lot out of regular tarot books, though, for basic reading technique, spreads, etc.

One of my dearest old friends is the author of The Thoth Companion . We were study partners back in the 1990s and discussed the Thoth deck and exchanged readings in coffee shops for years before he wrote it. We've fallen out of touch and its been a decade since I did any readings/research with the Thoth cards myself. But after you finish
Lon Milo DuQuette's book (DEFINITELY the place to start), give MOS's book a shot.
